		||||
and add it under `Live TV`.
 |

After that make sure to setup `DVR` to your liking to record.

## Handling of movies consisting of multiple files
 | 
			
		||||
## Naming schemes of movies and TV shows
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Both movies and TV shows can have extras like a `making of` or a `behind the
 | 
			
		||||
scenes`.
 | 
			
		||||
This section describes on how to place them in the directories correctly to get
 | 
			
		||||
jellyfin to recognize them as extras.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Movies consisting of multiple files
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Jellyfin does not have the capability to seamlessly transition between multiple
 | 
			
		||||
files of a movie.
 | 
			
		||||
The easiest way to achieve a seamless movie experience is to concatenate the two
 | 
			
		||||
movie files.
 | 
			
		||||
This can be done with [ffmpeg](./linux/ffmpeg.md).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Extras of movies
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In
 | 
			
		||||
[the jellyfin documentation](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies.html)
 | 
			
		||||
is a section on how to name the files correctly.
 | 
			
		||||
Inside the movie folder you can create subfolders with the following names for
 | 
			
		||||
different extras:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- `behind the scenes`
 | 
			
		||||
- `deleted scenes`
 | 
			
		||||
- `interviews`
 | 
			
		||||
- `scenes`
 | 
			
		||||
- `samples`
 | 
			
		||||
- `shorts`
 | 
			
		||||
- `featurettes`
 | 
			
		||||
- `extras` (generic catch all for extras of an unknown type)
 | 
			
		||||
- `trailers`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
An example looks like the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Movies
 | 
			
		||||
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 720P.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - Directors Cut.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── behind the scenes
 | 
			
		||||
    │   ├── Making of the Best Movie Ever.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    │   └── Finding the right score.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── interviews
 | 
			
		||||
    │   └── Interview with the Director.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    └── extras
 | 
			
		||||
        └── Home recreation.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Specific extras can also be stored in the main folder of the movie by naming
 | 
			
		||||
them to the following (adding a suffix for the type):
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- `trailer`
 | 
			
		||||
- `sample`
 | 
			
		||||
- `theme`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
An example looks like the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Movies
 | 
			
		||||
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── sample.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── theme.mp3
 | 
			
		||||
    └── trailer.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Another way to keep extras in the main folder of the movie is by adding the
 | 
			
		||||
following suffixes to the files accordingly:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- `-trailer`
 | 
			
		||||
- `.trailer`
 | 
			
		||||
- `_trailer`
 | 
			
		||||
- ` trailer` - This is a space followed by the word ` trailer`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-sample`
 | 
			
		||||
- `.sample`
 | 
			
		||||
- `_sample`
 | 
			
		||||
- ` sample` - This is a space followed by the word `sample`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-scene`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-clip`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-interview`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-behindthescenes`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-deleted`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-featurette`
 | 
			
		||||
- `-short`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
An example looks like the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Movies
 | 
			
		||||
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── That clip that I want everyone to see-clip.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Release Trailer-trailer.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Preview Trailer.trailer.avi
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Release Trailer 2_trailer.avi
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Teaser.sample.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Favorite Scene-scene.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── The Best Ever-clip.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Making of The Best Movie Ever-behindthescenes.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Not the best scene-deleted.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Theme Song Music Video-featurette.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
    └── Art of the Best Movie Ever-short.mp4
 | 
			
		||||
```

 | 
			
		||||
## Extras of TV shows
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In
 | 
			
		||||
[the jellyfin documentation](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows.html)
 | 
			
		||||
is a section on how to name the files correctly.
 | 
			
		||||
Inside the shows folder you can create the `season_00` folder as a directory
 | 
			
		||||
for extras.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
An example looks like the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Shows
 | 
			
		||||
├── Series (2010)
 | 
			
		||||
│   ├── Season 00
 | 
			
		||||
│   │   ├── Some Special.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│   │   ├── Episode S00E01.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│   │   └── Episode S00E02.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│   ├── Season 01
 | 
			
		||||
│   │   ├── Episode S01E01-E02.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│   │   ├── Episode S01E03.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│   │   └── Episode S01E04.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│   └── Season 02
 | 
			
		||||
│       ├── Episode S02E01.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
│       └── Episode S02E02.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
└── Series (2018)
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Episode S01E01.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Episode S01E02.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
    ├── Episode S02E01-E02.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
    └── Episode S02E03.mkv
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In this case it is recommended to name the files not `S00Exy` but according to
 | 
			
		||||
their content.
